ABSTRACT
The application of high-tech equipment to teaching and learning at universities is a common trend in
the world, especially in countries with advanced education. The Edtech trend has developed in
Vietnam since 2018, marking the development of Vietnamese education, when technological progress
from new technologies has been strongly deployed in education. This helps to form a new teaching
method towards digital education. It is the maximum promotion of the role of learners and teachers,
especially this trend towards developing learners' capacity. Therefore, the study is trying to examine
the impact of digital transformation and the issue of university-enterprise cooperation in developing
intelligent learning models. That helps to improve teaching effectiveness and student learning
outcomes in higher education. The method of survey and survey by questionnaire combined with in-
depth interview method is applied to evaluate, analyze, identify and prove the proposed hypotheses.
The study proposes the widespread application and deployment of the smart lecture hall model in
creating a new learning method for existing educators that integrates Information and
Communication Technology (ICT). Simultaneously combined with Team-Based Learning teaching
methods. Smart classroom model facilitates two-way interaction, students clearly show their central
role in teaching sessions. The "Smart Classroom" model will continue to contribute to shortening the
gap in education infrastructure of Vietnam with other countries in the region and the world, towards
realizing the goal of digital transformation in education. Research results from this article will help
universities have more solutions to increase the use of digital technology in teaching towards
implementing the digital transformation roadmap at universities in Vietnam.

Keywords: Digital transformation in education, Smart lecture hall model, digital transformation in
education, Samsung smart school, Team-based learning, corporate responsibility to the community.

INTRODUCTION
Using technology to increase teaching and learning efficiency is a growing trend that is being promoted in
advanced education systems. Some universities in Vietnam are also looking to modernize their lecture halls.
This model has been affirming its superiority in meeting the increasing demand for innovation in teaching and
learning methods today. The "Smart Lecture Hall" model is structured by two main parts. In which, the
hardware is an interactive lecture hall with modern equipment invested by FDI enterprises. The content includes
building lectures with specialized software and training for lecturers and students to familiarize themselves with
the new teaching and learning model. All classrooms are equipped with large touch screens, mounted at
different positions in the room to help learners easily follow the lecture. In addition, each student uses a
computer with an Internet connection to exchange and receive materials from the instructor (Nguyen Thi Hang,
2021).
The smart classroom model is very different from the old learning method. Although universities also have
many modern teaching methods, from online teaching, to filming, taking pictures to build lectures. But that's
still not professional. When there is a smart lecture hall, the teaching is integrated with the online teaching
method. That helps students interact with all available learning resources. Therefore, increasing interaction,
flexible and intuitive learning for learners. Along with that, the university can use this lecture hall for distance
learning, and cooperate with domestic and foreign universities to participate and organize scientific conferences.

Journal for Educators, Teachers and Trainers JETT, Vol. 14 (1); ISSN: 1989-9572 157
In the past, students were only taught directly by teachers and showed slides, but the intelligent lecture hall
model helps learners to observe more visually the content and images in the lecture. Especially for final year
students who have to study specialized subjects, associated with the actual work going on at the enterprise, this
method will help to accurately approach specific cases. With a smart classroom that has facilitated two-way
interaction, students clearly play a central role in their teaching sessions. The "Smart Classroom" model will
continue to contribute to shortening the gap in education infrastructure of Vietnam with other countries in the
region and the world.
That will contribute to creating motivation for universities to continue to innovate in education, especially in the
context of integration and the policy of promoting digital transformation in education (Viktoriia et al., 2022).
In Vietnam, this model is the result of cooperation between universities and businesses – that is, the realization
of educational support programs of FDI enterprises. Samsung Electronics of Korea has invested in developing
schools for Thai Nguyen and Bac Ninh provinces, and many other educational support programs, such as:
Samsung Smart Library, S-hub, Samsung Sono school... In the territory of Vietnam, Samsung currently has 8
production, business, research and large projects of this Group. Those 8 establishments are concentrated in 3
localities, namely Bac Ninh, Thai Nguyen and Ho Chi Minh City.
The smart lecture hall model prioritizes developing teaching skills using high technologies such as IoT, VR, AI,
Blockchain technology. Technology such as IoT (Internet of Things - Internet of Things) helps to enhance
management and supervision in universities, and to monitor learners' behavior. Big data technology helps
managers analyze learners' learning behavior for appropriate support and advice. Blockchain technology helps
build a system to manage information and educational records of learners, allowing to consolidate, manage and
share data from many universities. It also supports recording learning history, transcripts of learners to ensure
data information is consistent and transparent. In addition, the smart lecture theater model prioritizes activities
that increase interactivity, practicality - application. This is done through the application of Virtual Reality - VR,
Augmented Reality - AR in education to create virtual laboratories. Virtual reality models have the ability to
interact with users, helping learners to have multi-sensory experiences, easy to understand, easy to remember
and curious and exciting for learners. At the same time, it also increases interaction, practice and application of
knowledge right in the classroom (Thi Hang Nguyen, 2022).
Equipment in smart lecture halls includes smart interactive screens with classroom management software,
Samsung Galaxy Tab 9.7 tablets, wireless internet connected to servers and accessories, to bring maximum
convenience for teaching. The smart lecture hall model takes full advantage of the features of 4 core technology
groups: (i) Digital technology: AI, Big data, IoT, Blockchain, Cloud, Autonomous Robot, Simulation, Quantum
Computing ; (ii) New physics and materials: Nano, 3D Printing, Photovoltaics, Self-driving cars, Electric
vehicles, Flying devices; (iii) Biology: Stem cells, Biochips, Biosensors, Neurotechnology, Individual medicine,
Biomedical imaging and (iv) Energy and environment: Small satellites, Wind turbine technology, Smart grid,
Battery technology, Ocean energy. However, Vietnam is a country with a limited level of development, so the
investment in modern equipment for education is also a concern. The connection between universities and
businesses has helped to untie that knot. The "Smart Lecture Hall" model is one of the projects under Samsung's
corporate responsibility program for the community in the field of education, following the model of smart
school (Samsung smart school). That will contribute to meeting the increasing demand for innovation in
teaching and learning methods, especially in the fields of higher education in order to create a skilled and skilled
workforce. (Hang et al., 2020).
According to this model, interactive lecture halls are flexibly arranged depending on the learning needs of each
learning method, can be arranged into group areas, easily changed into rows in the traditional or separate way.
individually to increase interactivity. Therefore, the teaching contents are also gradually transformed from
"static" to "dynamic". In addition to presenting interactive lectures with images and sounds in the form of video
clips, animations, etc., specific types of images for students to study are displayed in 3D visualization (Mastel-
Smith et al., 2018).
This smart lecture system is also combined with the "Team-based learning" method of learning, which is a
model model in teaching innovation (developed by Dr. Larry K. Michaelsen at the University of Oklahoma,
USA). The team-based learning method that has a positive effect in lightening the cognitive load of blended
education is group-based learning (TBL). TBL focuses on providing students with the ability to apply their
knowledge to solve single or multiple problems. By doing this, TBL aims to facilitate both conceptual and
practical knowledge of students. It is an evidence-based collaborative learning teaching strategy designed
around instructional units, known as “modules”, taught in a three-step cycle: preparation, assurance testing
classroom readiness and application-focused assignments”. TBL is an active educational method that gives
students the opportunity to solve a problem they often complain about: the inability to put theory into practice
(Baldwin et al., 2018). With a smart classroom that facilitates two-way interaction, students make it clear that
they play a central role in teaching sessions. The "Smart Classroom" model will continue to contribute to
shortening the gap in our country's educational infrastructure with other countries in the region and the world
(Bawa., 2016).

Group-based learning (TBL) is a pedagogical strategy that engages learners' knowledge through individual
examination and group collaboration. After individual responses, students join groups and work through
problems and complaints when they are incorrect. This process motivates students by holding them accountable
to themselves and to each other, and introduces them to a variety of thought processes devoted to a single
problem. To increase motivation and create a fun gaming environment, instructors often group their students
into teams and have them compete on different learning tasks in the classroom. TBL dramatically changes the
focus of classroom time from instructors communicating course concepts to applying course concepts by groups
of students. This strategy is flexible enough to be implemented in classes of varying sizes including large lecture
courses, and students have reported developing creative thinking and oral communication through TBL.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Digital transformation and the strong development of the 4.0 technology revolution, along with the process of
globalization and deep international integration, have had a strong impact on all areas of social life, including
education. Developing high-quality human resources to participate in operating the digital economy is
demanding for each country. Therefore, countries in general and Vietnam in particular need to constantly
innovate and reform their national education systems to further improve the quality and efficiency of higher
education. This is aimed at an education that adapts to the context of digital transformation and the covid 19
pandemic. The issue of human resource quality must be prioritized by educational institutions and countries in
order to make meaningful changes. overate. (Esen et al., 2022).
Technological achievements such as IoT (Internet of Things - Internet of Things) have enhanced management
and supervision capabilities in educational institutions.
Big data technology is widely applied in education, helping to analyze learners' learning behavior for
appropriate support and advice. Blockchain technology helps build a system to manage information and
educational records of learners, allowing to consolidate, manage and share data from many schools. At the same
time, it also supports recording learning history, transcripts of learners to ensure data information is consistent
and transparent. The development of technology has led to changes not only in machines but also in the abilities
and skills of individuals living in society. The link between academic performance and technology is becoming
stronger. At the same time, it also requires you to acquire 21st century skills. It is important to create real
opportunities for young people to develop skills such as responsibility and independence ( Scott et al., 2015).
Grasping the advantages of research products of Deep Learning science, the education system has also put
artificial intelligence into teaching based on the virtual assistant platform. Not stopping there, the current
educational innovation is also focusing on standardization in order to reduce the difference between students in
achievement. Therefore, the AI tutoring system was born with the aim of optimizing the lessons for each level
and ensuring that it is suitable for the students' ability to absorb. The application of AI technology in education
towards a future that can replace teachers with robots, apply advanced technologies in teaching, in order to
create high-quality human resources to meet social needs (Tadeyeva et al., 2021).
The use of modern technologies in teaching and learning is very important to maintain the quality of education
through online learning and the need for communication between teachers and students (Choi et al., 2021).
Nowadays, online learning has become popular (Kumar et al., 2019). In turn, Semwal et al. (2019) tested that
learning through digital technologies is as effective as traditional technology. The results of Klimova (2020)
demonstrate the effect of blended learning on learning English. The author argues that the success of learning
depends on a variety of methods used to meet the needs of the selected sample of students (Klimova, 2020).
The smart learning model makes it possible for students to have full-time access to mobile phones and/or
laptops to keep up with their academic activities. Using technology to increase teaching effectiveness is a trend
in advanced education systems. This model allows all classrooms to be equipped with large touch screens,
mounted at different locations in the room to help students easily follow the lecture. The students have the
choice to use whatever they want. Social media gives learners access to any course they want regardless of their
socioeconomic status. Many E-Learning platforms have provided free access to their courses for the benefit of
learners for the duration of the course. The process of teaching, learning, communicating, researching, finding
work and exchanging information, everything is done only with the help of social media. This has changed the
way knowledge is shared, knowledge seeking, and interpersonal communication is made. (Zhu, 2012).
This study tested and demonstrated that the use of intelligent learning through online interactions has a
significant impact on student learning outcomes and satisfaction. Social media is the nullifier of ICT because it
facilitates the sharing of ideas, thoughts and knowledge through virtual networks and communities. Social
media includes social networking sites (Ex: Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and other platforms like Wikipedia,
YouTube, blogs, instant messengers, data sharing/transfer sites, podcasts, etc This also includes E-Learning
websites. Social media is about enhancing knowledge seeking and knowledge sharing behavior. Social media is
also effectively used to communicate with any professional and seek conceptual clarity from different
backgrounds. It helps to provide more knowledge to learners and influence them to participate in an

extracurricular activity. Those who have participated in a similar activity use this to connect talent and potential
to a mass audience (Vezhaventhan et al., 2022).
Next is the cooperation between universities and businesses in developing a smart lecture hall model.
Cooperation between universities and businesses in the direction of creating high-quality human resources to
meet the needs of society has attracted the attention of countries around the world. This is to link universities
with businesses to solve the problem of labor supply and demand. However, in the past time, the building of this
relationship is still fragmented, has not been really focused or has been focused but is still formal and
inefficient. This relationship is mainly still the self-advocacy of each university and enterprise. This relationship
building and management activity still has no overall solution, mainly based on traditional methods, statistical
means, synthesis and analysis. The article studies the construction of an information system, creating a tool to
support the connection between Schools - Learners - Enterprises in order to provide and exchange information
and bring job opportunities for graduates (Jagannathan et al., 2022).
Around the world, training at universities has been focused on building relationships, links and cooperation, and
deep connections with businesses. This was done very early by universities around the world. In order to have
high-quality human resources, businesses also actively build relationships to participate in the training process
in universities. This comes from many reasons, but the most obvious in the relationship between universities and
enterprises is rooted in interests, to meet and satisfy the interests of the parties involved (Eliezer Geisler et al.,
1989). Research by a group of scholars Eliezer Geisler has pointed out 12 main reasons as the basis of evidence
and explanation for the cohesion in the relationship between businesses and universities today.
One of the main reasons is that businesses can access, exploit and take advantage of high-quality human
resources right from universities. It is the students, more especially the access to highly qualified scientists.
They are people who have the ability to use technologies to practice modern experiments, the ability to perceive
and think quickly and deeply to approach high technologies, solve professional problems well or capable of
applying advanced and modern technology. Therefore, businesses must carry out social responsibility with the
University. By investing in technology equipment for teaching (Thi Hang Nguyen, 2022). In addition,
universities around the world have also sought and cooperated with businesses in order to realize the missions
and goals, organizational structure and policies of universities, and orient and interests of researchers at
universities. Such cooperation helps universities to attract modern technology and facilities from enterprises.
This is one of the contents showing the program of corporate responsibility to the community of FDI enterprises
in the field of education (Thi Hang Nguyen, 2022).
It is very necessary to build and define orientations and models of cohesion between the two sides, towards the
mutual benefits of the parties. This is an inevitable issue in order to ensure balance and balance between
industries and sectors in the economy. This is shown in the scientific publications of Martin (1997), Martino
(1996), Scott (1998), Barker (2016). Through this partnership, it has helped universities to improve, innovate
and enhance their governance efficiency (Association of Technology Managers, 2000), and at the same time,
help businesses improve efficiency. , improve innovation capacity, creativity in production and business
activities Robert et al. (2016).
This study aims to propose a model of smart lecture halls at universities in the context of digital transformation.
This model prioritizes hands-on learning and creative experiential activities. In Vietnam, this model is formed
from the result of cooperation between universities and enterprises. This is one of the projects under Samsung's
corporate responsibility to community program in the field of education. To obtain this data, a questionnaire was
framed and answered from 70 lecturers, 20 administrators and 150 learners. They are people who have been
studying at Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy and University of Medicine and Pharmacy in
Ho Chi Minh City.

Through the survey results in Table 2, it shows that the identification of goals, requirements for the
implementation of the plan and the roadmap for the application of the smart lecture hall model are well done.
Most universities in Vietnam have increased the application of information technology and digital
transformation in education and training for the period 2022-2025, with a vision to 2030. In which, the common
goals are clearly defined: Take advantage of technological advances to promote innovation in teaching and
learning, improve quality and access to education, and effectively manage education; building an adaptive open
education on the digital foundation, contributing to the development of digital government, digital economy and
digital society. Digital transformation has increasingly "penetrated" into teaching and learning activities,
bringing many positive signals in teaching activities.

DISCUSSION
According to the teachers participating in the study, the Smart Lecture Hall model has helped them save time in
preparing lectures, increase creativity and interact with learners. With smart classrooms, educational efficiency
is significantly improved. It has facilitated the development of two-way interoperability, with students clearly
demonstrating their central role in the teaching sessions. Course management tools such as Canvas software
help teachers understand the learning progress of students. Students can also discuss and share documents,
videos, and audios related to the lesson. In addition, universities also encourage lecturers to apply technologies
to support the automatic recording of lectures. After the class, the teacher posts the video online for students to
review. Through the survey, after applying this technology, the percentage of students absent from school did
not increase, on the contrary, the level of knowledge mastery of students was significantly improved. The
"Smart Classroom" model will continue to contribute to shortening the gap in education infrastructure of
Vietnam with other countries in the region and the world.
Our results are in agreement with Hang et al. (2020) that in order to successfully implement digital
transformation in education, it is necessary to apply modern technology to improve teaching effectiveness. The
smart lecture hall model is essentially the application of modern technologies to improve the efficiency of
higher education. There, the teaching contents are also gradually transformed from "static" to "dynamic". In
addition to presenting interactive lectures with images and sounds in the form of video clips, animations, etc.,
specific types of images for students to study are displayed in visual 3D. This is also consistent with the
statements made in the study of Jagannathan et al. (2022).
We agree with Vezhaventhan (2022) that Social Media is used to communicate and interact with teachers in
open learning spaces. It also helps to provide additional knowledge to learners and influence them to participate
in an extracurricular activity. People who have participated in a similar activity use this to connect talent and
potential to a mass audience. Furthermore, technology for organizing research work is an integral part of
students' professional training in a digital environment (Andryushin, Shcherbatov & Makarevich, 2018).
In order to have a diverse technology platform and not need to invest, universities need to strengthen
connections to mobilize funding from FDI enterprises. From there, the quality of labor supplied to businesses
will increase and they will not have to pay for retraining. In return, businesses must fulfill their social
responsibility to the University by investing in technology equipment for teaching. This is in agreement with the
study of Barker (2016) and Robert et al. (2016).

CONCLUSIONS
Smart lecture hall is a model that has just appeared in Vietnam since 2018, thanks to the support of FDI
enterprises, but has brought remarkable effects in higher education. Before this model appeared, universities
also applied online learning methods, teaching content designed by lecturers. However, the online teaching
content is because the teachers themselves filmed and took pictures to build the lecture, so it is not professional.

Journal for Educators, Teachers and Trainers JETT, Vol. 14 (1); ISSN: 1989-9572 163
Since having smart lecture halls, modern technology has been integrated with online teaching methods. That
helps students interact with all available learning resources. The university has also used smart lecture halls to
diversify types of training. Various types of distance learning, linking with domestic and foreign universities to
participate in scientific seminars have been realized thanks to the smart lecture hall model. Therefore, the smart
lecture hall model is expected to gradually replace the traditional lecture model with a one-way transfer of
knowledge from teacher to student. Instead, there is a two-way exchange between teachers and learners,
improving interaction, thereby improving efficiency and developing learners' thinking. In addition to the
improved training quality, the seating space and the system of tables and chairs in this lecture hall are flexibly
arranged, making it easy to group groups or separate individuals depending on the requirements of the lesson.
Supporting devices in the lecture hall include smart interactive screens, tablets, other classroom management
software, and an internet system that provides maximum support for lecturers and students in the teaching and
learning process.
Research has revealed the effectiveness of the Smart Lecture Hall model to improve teaching and learning
efficiency. All classrooms are equipped with large touch screens, mounted at different locations in the room to
help students easily follow the lecture. The Smart Lecture Hall model allows each student to use a computer
with an Internet connection to exchange and receive materials from the lecturer. Students who used the smart
lecture model had significantly higher learning outcomes. On the other hand, they are also more interested and
love learning. The Smart Lecture Hall model, if developed, can help learners have the opportunity to exploit
multimedia learning resources, different from traditional libraries. Instead of asking the librarian or looking up
the computer to find the location of the book and then the shelf, students just need to access the management
system on the computer in the library, find the book, press confirm, the book will be automatically delivered.
The results obtained on the effectiveness of the Smart Lecture Hall model can be used to plan and organize the
educational process in higher education institutions for research and widespread application. The study initially
analyzes the outstanding effectiveness of the Smart Lecture Hall model in a specific higher education institution.
In the next study, we will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of applying and deploying this model through
comparisons between groups of research subjects to see more clearly the effectiveness of this model. It is also a
step in line with the context of digital transformation, so that universities in Vietnam can realize the goal of
digital transformation in education.
The use of high technology for teaching combined with the "Team-based learning" method will create a model
model in teaching innovation. Smart lecture hall model facilitates two-way interaction, students clearly
demonstrate their central role in teaching sessions through actively interacting with lecturers, making lecturers
capable of "transforming translate” more towards learners. This model is a great opportunity for students to
interact with available learning resources, helping to enhance their thinking, cognitive, and creative abilities.
This is the basic factor to improve the quality of human resources for the development of the digital economy.
Smart school is considered a modern school model, suitable for the development of the industrial revolution 4.0.
Strengthening cooperative relationships with businesses will create opportunities for learners to discover and
construct knowledge, develop self-control and adaptive capacity, and think creatively through practical
experiences at the university. At the same time, to show social responsibility, businesses will invest in
technology infrastructure for universities to improve teaching quality. The application of smart technology for
education is the right direction. However, the State needs to continue to perfect the document regulating the
application of professional standards to guide member universities to apply. It is possible to form a number of
shared databases for universities so that universities can communicate about data. Train staff in knowledge and
skills related to organizing, processing, distributing and sharing information resources as well as principles,
processes and procedures for conducting this coordinated activity. Universities also need to actively innovate the
management and handling of work records in the network environment. Enhance teaching in a combination of
face-to-face and online to improve the level and capacity of digital technology application in educational
activities.
